Chongzhen Undergraduates

Zhu Youjian doesn't want to suffer a lot of battle damage yet. Every one of his cavalry is a treasure and a huge magnet.

"Have you heard about Huai'an City?" Zhu Youjian asked, staring down at Lu Guangzu.

"I've heard about it." The fact that the Huai'an garrison was a mixed-brand army of the Jin Bing had already spread.Especially those stories about the Kunfa defenders resisting the main force of the Jinbing, the Manchus wanted to hide it but they didn't, but the generals inside the Jinbing still knew about it.

"Just follow Huai'an's rules!" Zhu Youjian ordered.

Lu Guangzu was overjoyed. If he just shaved his head and defended Yongcheng, he would be accused of losing food and grass at most.Jin Bing has been less strict with the Han army because of the Huai'an incident.

"Follow me to Suzhou after you shave your head." Zhu Youjian followed up.

"Ah!" Lu Guangzu was startled.

"Why, you still want to be a traitor?" Zhu Youjian glared, and Ji Biao's knife was directly placed on Lu Guangzu's neck.

"No, no, the villain doesn't dare." Lu Guangzu's head was covered with cold sweat, which had already started to reflect light under the light of the torch.

"Hmph! If you dare to be a traitor in front of the Great Ming Emperor, you may have several heads to chop off." Ji Biao exerted all his strength, and the blade directly opened a thin bloody gash on Lu Guangzu's neck.

"Your Majesty, please spare me. Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" Lu Guangzu really didn't expect that the person in front of him was the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, mainly because he didn't dare to look at it when it was dark.

Zhu Youjian was too lazy to talk to Lu Guangzu, he went directly to Lu Guangzu's previous banquet, picked up a stack of clay bowls, and carefully filled each wine bowl with wine.

"We are all flying troops, even if the mountain is high and the water is deep; if we have no food or clothing, the enemy will come forward..."

"Haha, Your Majesty, are you pouring wine for us?" Li Yan and several brigade commanders gathered around the table with a smile, picking up the wine bowls one after another.

"Tonight is Lunar New Year's Eve. No, it's already passed the time. Zhenjiu uses this bowl of seized wine to wish Daming and all of you a happy new year!"

At this time, Lu Guangzu was sitting on a chair outside to shave his head. He secretly glanced at Zhu Youjian and found that Emperor Ming was younger than the silver dollar.

On the afternoon of the first day of the first lunar month, in the city of Suzhou.

As soon as Zhu Youjian entered the city, he received news that Yangzhou City fell, Shi Kefa was killed, and hundreds of thousands of people were massacred.

If Zheng Chenggong hadn't arrived ahead of time, how many people would have died in this tragedy.Zhu Youjian, who was still happy at first, turned black like charcoal in an instant. He tried again and again, but he still failed to prevent the massacre from happening.

Shandong is like this, Sichuan is like this, and Yangzhou is still like this.After all, Daming was too kind to Houjin.For barbarians without humanity, it is better to stop killing by killing than to rely on enlightenment.

It has been a day since Jin Shengheng surrounded the Eight Banners in a corner of the city. He intended to personally kill the person who submitted his name to Zhu Youjian.But before Zhu Youjian went to Yongcheng, he said that there was no need to hand in any votes.

Now the Thousand Eight Banners soldiers are directly facing Lu Guangzu's subordinates, and all of Lu Guangzu's men have hair and golden soldiers, looking like a new "hair army".

"General Lu, it's up to you. General Jin just said that his subordinates don't know how to use knives. I heard that your men are the best at using knives. Today I will give you this opportunity to show me your knives." How is the law?"

After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, several large chariots and knives were pulled directly in front of these new soldiers.On the periphery, the three firearms teams composed of infantry battalions of the Ming army pointed at them with cold firecrackers.

"Brothers, copy guys." Lu Guangzu understood, this is to let him accept the vote.

Lu Guangzu himself picked up a long-handled machete and took the lead to rush to the Eight Banners soldiers. Under the horrified eyes of an Eight Banners soldier, he chopped off his head.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Nanjing that the Crown Prince, as the supervisor of the country, has sent royal decrees to the provinces, demanding that they be recognized as the Ming court, with Liu Zongzhou as the chief assistant and Minister of the Ministry of War..."

Zhu Youjian didn't listen to the following words at all, and his eyes were a little tearful.

Although he doesn't like Shi Kefa very much, this little old man is actually quite cute.He remembered that he had eavesdropped on the prince's love affair together at Shi Kefa's house. Now that he thinks about it, it's absurd and funny enough.

Zhu Youjian was in Suzhou, where Ma Shiying fought for the last time a month ago, and Shi Kefa died a month later.The pair of enemies still got together with the same knot.

"The Sichuan army has just set off. Even if it is smooth sailing, it will still take 20 days. At this time, if you show your strength, you will face an enemy that is several times stronger than mine. Your majesty cannot act emotionally."

Li Yan was standing beside Zhu Youjian. He had already noticed that the emperor's expression was not right, so he quickly persuaded him.

"I can't hide what happened in Suzhou, it's nothing more than a day or two more. But now the whole Jiangnan is in panic. If I stand up now, the people in Jiangnan will have the faith to live. I think it's worth it."

Seeing that Zhu Youjian insisted on insisting, Li Yan started to have a headache again. Every time he solved the predicament, Zhu Youjian threw another big trouble.

"Then there is only one way." Li Yan pressed his fingers on his temples and rubbed them non-stop: "Take enough food and grass and circle around on the Huaisi land."

"Impossible, there are rivers everywhere from the south of Huai'an, crossing the river along the way is a big problem." Zhu Youjian shook his head.The Huaisi battlefield is not without natural dangers. The natural dangers here are not defense, but the route arrangement for the mobilization of troops.

"It's winter now, and the amount of water is only one-third of the flood season. Bring enough materials to build bridges, open roads in the mountains, and build bridges in the water! Anyway, there is less food and grass along the way, and the carriage can be lost along the way. Use the carriage as the bridge foundation. Noodles are the best."

After Zhu Youjian finished listening, he calculated the number of existing carriages, and finally made up his mind.

"An order to the whole country, Emperor Zhu Youjian of Ming Dynasty is still leading the army of Ming Dynasty to fight against the enemy in Jiangbei. Raise the banner of Zhen, let everyone know that we have not been defeated, and Ming Dynasty has not been defeated."

Yangzhou fell, and Shi Kefa died; the crown prince led all his ministers to leave, and another court was established.If Zhu Youjian continues to hide at this time, I am afraid that Daming will really split.

If the Ming army in the south of the Yangtze River joined the prince, the Sichuan army could only become a whole, and the whole situation would return to the situation of the three kingdoms.It is absolutely impossible for Zhu Youjian to let this situation happen.

Chapter 386: Yan Yingyuan's 81 Days

The walls of Xuzhou City have collapsed, but the collapsed Xuzhou City is still piled up as a defensive pile. The defenders can still stand on the mound to resist the Jin soldiers, and the Jin soldiers still pay the price of their lives if they want to climb over these large piles of concrete. .

The slightly injured soldiers in Xuzhou city recovered from their injuries and went to the battlefield again, and the battle in Xuzhou was still going on every day.

"Zi Liu." Yan Yingyuan took a sip of gruel and swallowed it with bean paste.

Those who guard the city can't talk about enjoying delicious food. Many city guards even eat human flesh in the end.In comparison, Xuzhou City is a paradise.

Green vegetables are rare in winter, so it is normal to have no vegetables.The salt has been cut off half a month ago, and now the defenders in the city mainly rely on soybean paste for their salt intake.

"General, the Jin soldiers have entered the city from the south again." Chen Mingyu had already withdrawn to Xuzhou City, and the two outer strongholds finally failed after resisting and containing the enemy for two months, and withdrew to the city.

Jin Bing has already attacked Xuzhou City dozens of times, and such things are no longer uncommon.According to conventional calculations, as long as the army invades the city, it is considered a victory, then Xuzhou has already fallen dozens of times.

"The Tartars' cannons couldn't be carried into the city, so they just threw out a few ecstasy formations to separate the soldiers entering the city, and kill them one by one." Yan Yingyuan basically didn't need to do too much tactical guidance now.

An army fights every day for several months, and even young recruits become veterans. As far as tactics are concerned, the actual battlefield is more effective than any kind of training.

"But this time Jin Bing brought the cannons in, but it's not that kind of super cannons, it's just some smaller general cannons." After Chen Ming met him, Yan Yingyuan just paused for a moment, and then started to drink again. Porridge.

The ability of Jin soldiers to carry the cannons into the city means that they have been able to gain a foothold in the city for a long time, and it also means that the battle in the city will become more intense.

But knowing is one thing, admitting is another.

"Let's go, follow the way of the Jin soldiers." Yan Yingyuan is old, but his temper is not old at all, and he is very angry.He put down the bowl and chopsticks carefully, for fear that if it broke, he wouldn't be able to find the next guy to eat.

Jin Bing knew that there were underground tunnels in Xuzhou, but they didn't know that the underground of Xuzhou City was actually a double-layer tunnel network.The Xuzhou defenders used the tunnels to drive out the enemies who had already invaded again and again.

At least half of Xuzhou's defenders lived underground.

Yan Yingyuan used 3000 people to resist the Jin soldiers in front of the city, but he led his men to the side and rear of the Jin soldiers through the tunnel.

"General, what are Jin Bing doing?" Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu lay behind a low wall and watched Jin Bing quietly.

Jin Bing had already cleared a street fifty paces wide, counting from the outside of the collapsed city wall to the inside of the city. They had cleared all the bricks and rubble out of the city.
